A small school district in north Idaho is trying to figure out who's behind 10 bomb threats made since the beginning of the school year. The series of hoaxes has rattled the community, and caused huge disruptions in school.

Most of the threats were made on bathroom stalls. Boundary County schools superintendent Richard Conley says the last four threats alone came in March.

“I've been in education for 41 years and I've never seen this,” he says.

Police believe multiple students are responsible. None of the threats, however, turned up an actual bomb.
